Solenopsis rugosa Bernard, 1950 junior synonym of current valid taxon Solenopsis fugax (Latreille, 1798)

Solenopsis rugosa Bernard, 1950a: 14 (w.m.) FRANCE. Palearctic.

Primary type information: Primary type material: 8 syntype workers, 4 syntype males. Primary type locality: France: Pyrénées Orientales, S Banyuls, N face of Pic Jouan, 400 m., ix.1942 (F. Bernard). Primary type depository: MNHN. Type notes: Galkowski et al., 2010: 160, record 32 workers, 4 males dated iv.1950, which disagrees with the published date (ix.1942); these specimens are certainly not type-material.
